Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Birsay

Located on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodations with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

We had a tire that was leaking air. They had a friend who has a car repair business on their personal property - that person identified a small leak on the tire sidewall, so the tire would need to be replaced. The Smithfield then called around and found a shop that had our tire size and they make an appointment for us to get the tire replaced. This was amazing because the local tire shops were slammed with business and somehow, they got us an appointment quickly. The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to help us with our tire problem and we are extremely grateful for that! Breakfast and dinner were very good!

Lilly's Lodges Orkney Butterfly Lodge, hotel in Birsay

Featuring garden views, Lilly's Lodges Orkney Butterfly Lodge has accommodations with a balcony and an electric tea pot, around 6.4 miles from Standing Stones of Stenness.

The cottages were perfect, and a great value for a family of four, we didn’t even feel too cramped, because we really love the concept of tiny living. :-) The location was awesome, views of water in front of you and lush green hills dotted with sheep behind. I will say, though, I was a little nervous as we drove up to the place on rough roads in the middle of nowhere, but it was like a paradise, really!
